Everyone I interacted with who works at Oleana was friendly, helpful (especially with the less common names of the dishes) and fun. The food is superb and unique- excellent and unexpected flavors.

The vegetarian tasting menu is (rumored) to be different every time. I don't know firsthand if that's true, but it's rumor enough to head back to try the tasting menu again. The four mezze (and dessert) were amazing!! I am in love with this place already. more

We love Oleana and have never had anything but fantastic experiences there. One night we were sitting next to a couple who ordered the Oleana version of fried chicken, they had been given a gift certificate. They were so surprized that it had different spices than KFC, and spent the next 1/2 trying to figure out the spices. By the... more

Food was awesome. I just dined here last night for my boyfriend's birthday and not only the food was awesome, the service was great as well. Unfortunately, I didn't get one of the nicer seats in the house, (i didn't have reservations,.) but it was still awesome! (i hate being in the middle of dining rooms..) I rather be against... more
